The Fairphone 2 was designed to allow you to replace the parts that are more prone to failures and accidents. Some repairs, like replacing the display or battery don’t even require any tool. For others - like the rear camera, receiver and speaker units - you will only need a Philips screwdriver. The relevant screws are color-coded in blue so you know which ones to remove.
